Unless things change drastically, the SA will have to strongly consider test optional admissions. I live in a no mask state. We only shut down for the initial several weeks in March. Many people in my state are not concerned with the virus, and my DD has not been able to take the test since last Oct. I don't know how many tests have been canceled on her, but I would guess she can give
@nurse dad's DD a run for her money.
For those making comments about completing the mission or this is an SA it's different (with all due respect. i am usually in this camp too.) Well times are different. You are not living this reality. DD currently has 3 test booked, fingers crossed she gets to take at least one.
When a test is booked it is done weeks if not months, in advance. At this point it is like playing the loto. There is no way to tell which site will cancel. The test sites will cancel as late as the Thursday prior to a Saturday test. Now the student must pick yet another date, which can be month or more out, and hope there is a testing site available within several hours. DD is now looking at having test scores in as late as October, at the earliest, and December or later, at the worst. If the trend continues with the amount of canceled testing, I don't see how they continue as usual.
My guess is the tipping point will be when a coveted nominee or recruit can't take the test.
